QINGDAO -- The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday to commemorate ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan from the Warring States Period (475-221 B.C.). Celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, the festival falls on May 31 this year.

Since Duanwu is also a time for family reunions, a construction company in coastal city Qingdao, eastern China, held a special family day, allowing employees there who stayed on duty during the festival to spend quality time with their families, making Zongzi and enjoying other traditional cultural activities together.
"Participating in parent-child games strengthens the bond between parents and children while giving children a chance to learn about traditional culture, making the experience quite meaningful," said Wang Keguang, a staff member at the construction site.
